Lyrics
Verse 1
I know heaven opened for you
I know you made it home
I know you're safe with Jesus
I know you're not alone
Chorus
And though I still miss you
And tears still come and go
I hold on to the promise
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
Verse 2
I know tomorrow feels so far
But a thousand years are like a day
In heaven where you are
I'll see you tomorrow
Where no tears will ever fall
You are resting there with Jesus
Safe forever in His arms
Bridge
So I won't say goodbye
I'll just say goodnight
I'll see you tomorrow
In His everlasting light
I still wish I had one more day
One more smile, one more word to say
But even through the sorrow
This is what I still believe
Outro
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you again
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
Safe in the arms of Jesus
No more sorrow
No more pain
No more goodbye
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
I'll see you tomorrow
Tomorrow

Meaning & Inspiration
“I'll See You Tomorrow” by May the Lord Studio is a funeral-style song of grief and hope. The verses picture a loved one who has gone home to be with Jesus and is “safe forever in His arms,” while the singer admits that missing them brings tears. The chorus holds both feelings at once: “I still miss you… I hold on to the promise, I'll see you tomorrow.”
The line “a thousand years are like a day” echoes 2 Peter 3:8 and Psalm 90:4, which make the same comparison for God's sense of time. The promise of a place “where no tears will ever fall” is close to Revelation 21:4, and being safe with Jesus recalls 2 Corinthians 5:8 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14, which speak of hope for those who have died in Christ.
The bridge says “I won't say goodbye, I'll just say goodnight,” and admits wishing for one more day, but it ends on belief. The song’s message is comfort in loss, resting on the hope of reunion.
